but if he had done so he would have been
justified in the facts and in law. 1t was
difficult for the Navy Department to find
its way clear, within the law, to authorize
the repair of the Hartford, and it seems at

San Francisco people seem to think NAV

That is, by economy amounting almost to
parsimOny, the repairs to be made upon

within 20 per cent. of her value, which is
the limit of the cost of repairs allowed by

that it was no part of his business to in.

SIGYoR MUzIo's EVIL EYE.-A CORE
spondent writing of the Italians, says they
are the most superstitious of people, and
Italian artists are the most superstitious of
Italians. Every singer or instrumentalist
one meets has from one to six cornelian or
coral horns depending from his watch
chain, and when the sale of Rossini's eff
fects was carried on after the composers
decease at least half hundred corni were
disposed of to miscellaneous purchasers.
La Jettatura-'the evil eye'-is the great
bugbear of Italians in general and of art
lists in particular. The late NJ Offenbach
was supposed to be afflicted with it, and
Signor Muzio enjoys the same unfortunate
reputation; the person meeting jettatore
of this order, unequipped with horn
and unaware of the talismanic signs
which, in default of corno, are supposed
to have equal potency-might as well, in
the opinion of the average Italian, hurry
home and make his will at once.

IT PAYS TO BE WOMAN. "A CORE
spondent who evidently wishes she was a
big, bad man writes to the lFomdn's Journal
to ask if it pays to be woman l should
like to know why not? If it pays to be
petted and shielded if you behave yourself;
if it pays to be worked for and treated and
poor-pussyd; if it pays to be pretty and
graceful and charming; if it pays to be
loved and honored and respected; if il
pays to make somebody glad they were
born and happy to live for your sake; if it
pays to be the greatest power for good or
evil that this world knows if it pays to be
the mother of that sweetest of all God
given things, baby; if it pays to be a
mother whose children grown to manhood
rise up and call her blessed if it paws to
be wife dearer to good man than his
honor or his life if it pays to have the
blessings of the poor, the sick. the friend
less or the helpless-if any of these things
pay, then it pays to be a woman.

TERRIBLE CASUALTY.
Many Lives Lost at BaptismaI Cere-
mony Yesterday.

Many Lives Lost at a BaptismaI Cere-
mony Yesterday.
CHICAGO, May 9th.-A special from New
Orleans says: Several colored congrega-
tions of the Baptist churches in this city
have long made it a practice to baptize
members in the Mississippi river at certain
selected points, both in the upper and lower
districts of the city. The swift current
of the river has always made the custom
more or less dangerous, but the chances OF
mishap have until to-day thought to have
been reduced to a minimum by the care
exercised in selecting places for the cere-
monies where there was shallow water.
To-day, however. an accident happened at
which seven lives are known to, and more
may, have been lost. Mount Zion Baptist
Church has been baptizing It's converts at
the foot of a street. Beside the spot where
the usual ceremonies are held is a large
wharf, which extends into deep water.
This morning the congregation gathered at
the spot for the usual ceremonies. a large
crowd assembled on the wharf and in the
midst of the exercises the railing gave way
and fully fifty people were precipitated
into the river.
Around the wharf was a number of skiffs.
and into them many of the people were
thrown, overturning several boats and
adding TO the number struggling in the
water. The occupants of those skiffs which
fioated set to work and rescued all those
who could be reached. AS stated, however,
seven are known to have been drowned and
it is believed that from five to eight more
perished. RoselinaWilliams (colored) ,wnen
she went into the water, had child in her
arms. She struggled until she came to the
surface, and held the child up until one of
the rescuing skiffs reached her, and the in
fant was seized and taken on board She
then sunk and was carried away by the
current. An unknown white woman was
drowned under exactly similar circum-
stances. and her rescued baby is now held
by the police for Identification. Several
people were injured, but none seriously.

AN EARTHQUAKE THEoRY.-A possible
| cause of earthquakes in Europe has been
suggested to the French Academy of Sci
ences by Nj. A. Blavier, who associates the
great disturbances of 1855, 1884 and 1887
with abnormal aecumulations of ice about
the North Pole. He supposes such accu-
mutations to have caused DETECTION of
the Guf Stream away from Europe, pro-
duclng great climatic changes and slight
disturbance OF equilibrium in the sea bot
tom, followed by a possible local fracture
along the line of least resistance. Evidence
OF the thrush of cold oceanic waters is fur
nIshed by the disappearance of sardines
from the west coast of Europe during the
years in question.

pilot of tug last night reported at quaran-

that had been sunk in Gedrey's Channel,
and near the wreck a big steamer was living
at anchor. The fog was very thick at times,
and had been thick all day. He was un-
able to make out the name of either of the
vessels. He supposed the steamship had
sunk the bark in a collision in the fog.

THE OBNOXIOUS CLAUSE.
Section Four of the Interstate Act Likely
to be Suspended.

CHICAGO, May Sth.-A prominent gentle
man just arrived from Washington, who
claims to speak with authority, and to
have positive information says that on the
return of the Interstate Commission from
their tour, without hearing more argu-
ments or petitions, an order will be issued
suspending the long and short-haul clause
Section ~ on all the railroads of any ac-
count in the country. This will be done,
he claims because the Commissioners be-
lieve it is working great injury to the inter-
ests of the country at large. How long a
suspension will. be made the gentleman
could not say, but he imagines that it will
be extended TO time to allow Congress to
act on the obnoxious clause.

TURF TOPICS.
California and Other Stables at Louis
vilie-Ihe Derby.


LOUISVILLE, May Sth.-Haggin's declara-
lions came yesterday Stables are arriving
by every train. There will be more than
five hundred horses and fifteen or more to
start in the Derby. Rightaway went East
with part of Browns stable, and as Duke
of Bourbon was declared that leaves one to
represent the Pittsburg stable.
It is supposed both Montana Regent and
Volante will enter in the second race, a
dash of one and a quarter miles, on the
first day, as this race has always been re-
garded as work for the cup on the fifth
day.
The grounds and track are in perfect con-
dition and no Derby since the inaugural
one has been so open or created more gen
eral interest.
Baldwin's stable has entirely recovered
from their trip across the Rockies and a
finer lot or better conditioned horses can
not be found in any country. Everything
points to grand meeting.

MALPRACTICE.
Death of a Woman at the Hands of a

YREKA, May 8th.- Especial by Postal
here this afternoon on the body of Mrs c.
Cornish, whose sudden death last night Gas
thought TO be attended by suspicious cir
cumstances. She had been sick for TIE
past few days, and Chinese doctor in at
tendance pronounced the disease pneu-
monia. A post mortem examination was
held, and the doctor was arrested awaiting
further developments. The woman was in
poor circumstances, her husband being a
cripple supported by the county. A YER
dict of death by malpractice at the hands
of Sing Kee, a Chinese doctor, was re-
turned. The post mortem examination
showed severe bruises and cuts with lance
about the breast
